Find Vista's double Firewall
Have a program that is being block by the Windows firewall but can't seem to still get net access. Check out Vista's double Firewall to see if that program has access. But this will be difficult to find because it's not in the Windows Firewall setting. Your best bet is to go to Windows search and type the following wf.msc and press ENTER. This will open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
You then scroll down to Outbound Rules and then New Rule in the upper right corner. Then you select the program path for the application you require access to. For each program you want internet access you have to allow the connection and create a new rule for every app otherwise you will not get net acess.

Don't Do it to Windows
Yes the following is a waste of time on Windows.
It's your choice on believing or not.
1- Vista multiple core improves boot time
There is an option in Msconfig utility that lets you set the number of processors for boot time and by default it's set to off.
2- Clearing prefetch directory (or cache) improves start time
Actually all this does in most cases is extends the boot time.
3- Disabling QoS and IPv6 will improve bandwidth and web performance
I still can't find any good enough reason to do so.
4- Turning off System Restore improves performance
I wouldn't chance risking my backups.
5- Clearing out cached and temp files improves performance, especially in web browser.
6- Disabling the last access time stamp will boost performance.
I wouldn't suggest on doing this because one day this might just help you resolve a known problem.
